History[edit]

Lisa as Joan of Arc.

Joan of Arc appeared in a story from the book Classics for Children. Joan of Arc was told by God to lead the French to victory. So she led the French against the English in the Hundred Years' War. After a successful attack, she was honored by the King before continuing the war. Shortly after, during a battle, the English captured Joan and put her on trial. She was accused of witchcraft and sentenced to death. When Joan claimed that she was following God's will, an English/Scottish soldier revealed that he too had been chosen by God, but to lead the English armies against the French. God's voice then excused Himself by revealing that the two were never supposed to meet, and He decided to disappear. Joan of Arc was then burned at the stake before Sir Lancelot rescued her, and they escaped and lived in a spaceship.[1]

A picture of Joan of Arc was on a wall of pictures of left-handed people titled "Left is Right."[2]

Terry the Time Traveling Terrier once saved her from a well.[3]

Lisa's dream bedroom had a great wall of great women. Women who were on the wall included Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Hermione Granger, Joan of Arc, Sacagawea, and Gloria Steinem.[4]

Bart threw a book about Joan of Arc onto the fire.[5]
